摘要：

2,4-diamino-6-hydroxy-pyrimidine (DAHP), an inhibitor of GTP cyclohydrolase I, blocks the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), which is a known cofactor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Previously, DAHP was shown to suppress the production of nitric oxide by cytokine-activated fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells or endothelial cells which could be attributed to its function as a cofactor antagonist. Here, we demonstrate that in interferon-gamma-activated murine peritoneal macrophages DAHP suppresses the expression of iNOS mRNA and protein in a BH4-independent manner and, thus, acts by a novel mechanism.
